Canonical and ARM officially porting Ubuntu to ARM
 
I just stumbled across this joint press release by ARM and Canonical:

http://www.arm.com/news/23761.html

So it looks like there will be an officially supported ARM version of Ubuntu as soon the next release (April 2009). Big news for the next IT as well as Maemo. Interesting times!

This is so cool.
I have already tried mojo, but... ..This is going to be offical port.
New releases for ARM will be available at the same time they will be for x85!
I believe there is gonna be a lot more stuff, and architecture will be called "armel" instead of Mojos stupid arm choise. :)
Here is arcticle about it on ubuntu wiki:

This sounds like we're out of luck with the current tablets. Our processors are only ARMv6, right?

EDIT: The wiki seems to agree with me about the Nokia-sponsored mojo port:

Could perhaps be a candidate chroot base to start bootstrapping Ubuntu armel, but the Debian armel port looks like a better candidate
That wiki page doesn't feel like it's about the same thing as today's announcement... It hasn't been edited in three months...

Someone took the time to post this in Slashdot, go ahead and promote NITs on Slashdot.

Promote what about the tablets? We're not even sure this will run on the current tablets.

EDIT: Unfortunately, this is much more of a promotion opportunity for Pandora, as they have the required processor.

Sorry, what?

Do you guys know something I don't?

Can software compiled for ARMv7 be run on an ARMv6? Have they announced an ARMv6 port?
